two of my strays are going to a TNR this weekend (one I'm going to start volunteering with!!!) . I've found out that if they test positive for aids or leukemia they will be put down immediately. I'm having such a tough time with this. One I plan on bringing in when I move out. She loves to get pets, comes running when I call her name... The other come running also and you can sometimes pet her when she's eating but she is more skittish. She's still come so far considering she pretty much used to be feral. The more skittish one is pregnant too, so I'm also dealing with the guilt of getting a kitty abortion, but there are already 5 kittens no one wants to adopt
anyone have some ideas on how to cope if the worst would happen? I've been giving them extra food and some extra love to Tuna (the friendly one), I'm trying to tell myself if that would happen at least they got to know what being loved and cared for is like.
I'm so stressed right now with taking them (finally raised JUST enough money to get them fixed, I set up a gofundme account and have gotten a few donations mostly from friends and family) plus one of the kittens got sick and is now living with me and I need to get her dewormed and vaccinated and tested so she can go live somewhere else (I live with my parents because I can't work... they say the 4 cats we have now are enough and I'm not allowed to keep my new baby). I've never worrried about money for myself, I don't care about money, but needing money for my fur babies is stressful!
